Re: Can't keep U-Joints in YJ
 

I've never seen a so called "super duty" universal joint as strong
as the standard Spicer, the book calls for. By now your clutch should be
worn to the point your Son can no longer get second and third gear, so
the new set should last the normal fifty thousand for that angle.

with a new clutch.

You do lead a sheltered life now don't you Bill. But then since you
haven't been an active offroader in many years, that you don't know
